Trash games kill me [holographic]

That's right, they were riding in a rickety, unshielded, old cow-pulled cart.

There is also a lean old NPC man on the shaft, waving his whip twice from time to time.

The wheels are rolling, the country road is bumpy, and the people sitting on it are bouncing along with the cart, and even the oncoming breeze has a strong... breath of nature.

Very rustic, very rustic.Nothing to do with luxury.

If it weren't for the scenery on both sides flying backwards at a completely unreasonable speed, An Zhengchu would really think he was on a country road.

Hengdao touched his nose in embarrassment: "I didn't expect that this place is so remote that there is no carriage." He swore, "Don't worry, I will definitely take you in the carriage next time."

An Zhengchu pursed his lips and smiled: "I was just joking, and I didn't mean to blame you." Knowing that this was a game or fake, but the bumps were too real, he couldn't help but hug Xiao Zhuling to his side, and then he became curious He asked Heng Dao calmly, "I remember you said that you basically farm monsters in the wild. Haven't you ever encountered a time when you stayed in the countryside?"

Hengdao shook his head: "I have enough medicinal ingredients on me, so I rarely enter the village." I also had no chance to see such a cool vehicle.He looked at An Zhengchu, "If I hadn't met you, I would have returned to Moyang Town that day."

These words immediately evoked An Zhengchu's memories, and the scene of the two's first encounter resurfaced before his eyes.

Obviously it just happened yesterday, but it seems that it has been a long time, so long that he has the illusion that he has known Heng Dao for a long time.

Hengdao raised his hand and shook it in front of him: "What are you thinking?" Stupid.

An Zhengchu came back to his senses: "No." He smiled slightly, "I just didn't expect that I would get to know you so quickly."

Heng Dao raised his eyebrows: "It means that I am very attractive."

An Zhengchu laughed, and nodded with a good temper: "Maybe."

"Yes, yes, no, no, what is maybe?" Heng Dao was angry, paused, looked at An Zhengchu, and asked hesitantly, "Ajiu, don't you have many friends?"

An Zhengchu nodded: "Well, just a few—" He was stunned, suddenly recalling his current situation, his lips could not help trembling, "I—" He forced a smile, "—I have no friends. "

Although there was a smile on his face, he looked like he was about to cry.

Heng Dao's heart trembled, and he clenched his hands on his lap, trying his best to resist the urge to hug him into his arms.

"Why don't you have any friends?" The voice was low and soft, as if afraid of scaring him.

An Zhengchu lowered his eyes, concealing the heat that surged in his eyes, and murmured: "Well, no."

Heng Dao stared at An Zhengchu closely: "Your classmates, your neighbors, you go out to buy things... there will always be someone you can chat with?"

An Zhengchu pursed his lips, then raised his eyes, his face had returned to calm.He looked at Hengdao, smiled and said, "Isn't there you? Aren't you my friend?"

Hengdao was stunned: "... that's right."

An Zhengchu said optimistically, "I met you only a few days after I played the game, and I will definitely make other friends in the future."

Hengdao clenched his fists.Ah Jiu...what kind of environment is he staying in...

***

The system map is an exploratory display.That is to say, in the absence of map tools and NPC descriptions, the system map will not display the routes and conditions of unknown areas where the player has not been.

For example, now, through the description of the village chief Zhang Yu, the two knew that Jiyuan Village and Jiuqu City were hundreds of miles away, but they didn't know how to get there or what would happen on the road.

And when they drove on the bull cart, they could only light up the route they passed.In other words, if they want to return to Jiyuan Village from Jiuqu City in the future, they don't need to find the route by themselves, they can just follow this route. As for what will happen along the way, they still need to find out by themselves—if They are really bored and have to go through it again.

Furthermore.Although the bull cart looks like it is about to fall apart, it is produced by the system after all, and it is said that the journey of hundreds of miles can be reached in a blink of an eye.

They just chatted in the car for a while, and then had a leisurely afternoon tea, and they arrived at Jiuqu City.

The station where the carts stopped was still some distance from the city gate, and the majestic city wall could already be seen.Cars come and go in the post station, and there are many pedestrians on the avenue.There are NPCs with semi-transparent subtitles above their heads, and there are all kinds of players.

An Zhengchu, who was born in the mountains and villages, looked around excitedly like a bumpkin.Oh my god, there are not so many people on the street in reality, are everyone co-authoring mixed in the Internet?No wonder online games are called the third world.

He completely forgot one point.Although there are few people on his planet, online games can break through geographical limitations and bring people from all planets together.

"Isn't it very lively?" Hengdao carried Xiao Zhuling down, turned back, and supported him, "Come down, let's go into the city."

An Zhengchu quickly regained his senses, pushed his hand away, and said speechlessly, "What are you doing? I'm not Xiao Zhuling." He was able to get down by himself.

He moved forward, jumped on the cart, and landed firmly.

Hengdao withdrew his hand regretfully, then pulled Xiao Zhuling up and greeted him: "Let's go."

The two of them and one NPC walked towards the city along the flow of people.

An Zhengchu looked around while walking, and felt that his eyes were almost blind.

The weathered bricks and simple city wall structure, from a distance, seem to be able to feel the thickness and vicissitudes of thousands of years ago.

An Zhengchu sighed with emotion.Unexpectedly, after more than 1000 years, the history can be preserved so completely.Even a game can be so elegant.

Besides the buildings, the roads are bustling with colorful players--really colorful.Red and golden hair are considered normal, and there are also colored and gradient ones. An Zhengchu even saw a man with green hair.He couldn't help but catch that person and keep watching——

Warm big hands landed on his head, rubbed it, and then went down to wrap his shoulders directly.Hengdao's tone was helpless and doting: "Look at the way..."

An Zhengchu hastily looked away, confirmed that Xiao Zhuling was still being held by him, and then felt relieved, and gave him a guilty look: "Hey, there are so many people..."

Hengdao embraced him with one hand and Li Zhuling with the other: "It's okay, just watch it a few times and you'll get used to it."

"I thought no one played this game."

"How come, "Lost Civilization" is the most popular game right now, and there will only be more and more people in the short term, not less."

"Really?" An Zhengchu scratched his cheeks, "It seems that the place where I was born is too remote. Are there many birthplaces in this game?"

After practicing for less than two days, his interstellar language is naturally stuttering, with a few Chinese words occasionally mixed in.Hengdao sounds naturally without any difficulty, and even thinks that this kind of Ajiu is very cute.

The two of them got used to chatting in the past two days, but they didn't realize that they were using the current channel.A man with colored hair who passed by happened to hear An Zhengchu's words, his tone was strange and ridiculous, and the question he asked... After guessing, he also guessed the general meaning.

He turned his head, intending to make a good laugh.As soon as the corner of his mouth opened, he met a pair of serious eyes, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

He laughed dryly and walked away quickly.

An Zhengchu didn't realize it, and was still holding back his interstellar language slowly: "Is everyone's birthplace in the countryside? Or not necessarily? What about you? Where is your birthplace?"

Heng Dao withdrew his gaze, and led him forward as if nothing had happened: "Well, a lot. It's not necessarily limited to the countryside, some are in the towns, it depends on how the brain is allocated. As for the place where I was born," he looked down at An Zhengchu At a glance, "I will take you to see it in two days, you will definitely like it."

An Zhengchu wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction, and squinted at him: "It's mysterious, why not introduce it now?"

"It's not impossible." Hengdao chuckled, "It's just that we have to do the task first and ask for directions."

An Zhengchu blinked and looked around, only to realize that they had already entered the city before they knew it.

"Hey, don't need to check—" Well, he was stupid, this is a game, it is impossible to stop the players from checking the clearance documents, and they don't have documents. "Now, how to ask?"

Hengdao looked left and right: "Ask the guard first." He led them to an NPC holding a spear and wearing armor on the side of the road.

Let An Zhengchu lead Xiao Zhuling, take two steps forward, stand in front of the guard NPC, and ask directly: "My lord, where is the Li family that has been passed down for many years?"

The NPC guard glanced at him lightly: "There are tens of thousands of people surnamed Li in Jiuqu City, how do I know which company you are asking about?"

Hengdao nodded as usual: "Okay. Thank you very much." He knew that he couldn't ask why.

An Zhengchu came forward with Xiao Zhuling, and made a small bow to the guard NPC: "Excuse me, brother soldier, if we want to know, where should we ask?"

The guard NPC looked him up and down, and his expression softened instantly: "If this young man really wants to find someone, he can go to the government office in the east of the city. The adults in the household registration department know the residents in the city like the back of their hands."

Hengdao: ...

An Zhengchu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Brother Bing, let's go and ask." He bowed to the guard NPC again, and the guard NPC nodded to him, and stood up straight again with a straight face.

An Zhengchu turned around and grabbed Hengdao's sleeve: "Let's go, let's go to the Household Registration Section to ask."

Heng Dao squinted at him: "The charm is not small, even the brother Bing has been taken down." This is talking about his NPC popularity.

An Zhengchu scratched his cheek: "Hey, it should be a matter of reputation."

Hengdao naturally knew that he was just joking.

The two moved forward again, heading directly to the government area in the east of the city.

The government office in Jiuqu City is a short street, and plaques of various departments are hung on each gate, some are closed and some are open.Those who close the door are fine, and those who open the door must be guarded by soldiers in armor.

After confirming the location of the Household Registration Section, Heng Dao led the way, and the three of them walked over directly.

With a "shua", two spears stopped in front of Hengdao.

"Office important place, idlers are not allowed to enter."

Hengdao: ...
