Chapter One: The Bedroom
"A+"!
In a dimly lit and smoky dormitory, three boys sat together wearing only shorts, playing cards. One was tall and thin, the one next to him was chubby, while the one sitting on the bed had a relatively standard build but also had a small belly.
Without a doubt, the three of them were modern university students in legend, of course, actually they spent most of their time facing computers, but today the school was out of power and couldn't go online, so the three had no choice but to play Fight the Landlord.
This time, the relatively standard-looking Zhang Fei was the landlord. He had just played an ace and was immediately killed by a two from Zhou Tai's roommate, who lived downstairs. Zhang Fei waved his hand to disperse some of the smoke around him and said: "You bunch of eunuchs, don't you know that smoking is bad for you? It's choking me to death! Little Wang!"
That tall and thin guy, named Guo Xin, was blowing smoke rings while saying: "You don't understand, a cigarette after meals is better than being an immortal, the king is dead!"
Zhan Fei listened and said: "A cigarette after dinner, from getting up to now, have you eaten yet? Bomb!"
Indeed, the four people in this dormitory, except for Liu Yuan who has already gone out to study, are all quite lazy. For breakfast, they eat at most once every ten days. They don't go out for lunch either. When Liu Yuan returns from self-study and brings back lunch, they quickly finish eating and then continue staring at the computer.
As for attending classes, only some teachers who take roll calls will go to class, and basically, they only attend one class a day. This kind of life is envied by both diligent high school students and working professionals who have graduated from university.
Just as Zhang Fei was about to emerge victorious from the explosion, the lights suddenly came on, and finally, damn it, the power is back on!
The three of them immediately threw down the poker in their hands and ran to their beds at a terrifying speed, then turned on their computers. The three of them muttered to themselves, with Guo Xin saying, "Damn it, today's big three laps haven't been run yet!"
Zhou Tai then said: "My little girlfriend has been waiting for me for a long time, right?"
"This time's breakthrough mission has failed again, what a pity!"
Zhan Fei is playing a game called "Doupo Dalu", which is relatively balanced and the only game he has played in the past two years that doesn't get destroyed by players who spend money. The difficulty of this game lies in its breakthroughs, every 20 levels there is an extremely difficult breakthrough task that requires asking for help from higher-level players.
Those high-level players have very limited time, and it's not easy for Xuan Fei to make an appointment with several level 100+ experts. The next morning, they helped him break through, but the electricity was cut off for a whole morning. By the time Xuan Fei arrived at the internet cafe to break through, the entire place was already packed with people.
Otherwise, the three-person dormitory would not stay in the dormitory to play cards even if they went online, and now the electricity finally came, Zhan Fei also went online immediately, and then several message prompts popped up, all of which were asking about Zhan Fei's situation.
Those high-level players over level 100, in order to fly together, deliberately ran to the Pan Si cave and waited for more than ten minutes. However, the player "Zhan Fei" didn't come online, so they scolded a few times and directly blocked Zhan Fei. Now Zhan Fei is left with no choice but to cry, as high-level players are hard to find, and he only knows a few in his gaming circle, now he has offended them all at once, how can this be resolved?
He then spread his wings and steeled himself, thinking that no matter what, even if he had to make several attempts, he would definitely be able to complete this task!
Immediately, Xuan Fei controlled his own number and rushed into the Pan Si Cave alone. The task was in the Pan Si Cave, naturally, the big boss inside was a spider spirit, a huge spider spirit. Xuan Fei's role was a summoner, able to summon pets.
He is now at level 89 and can summon five stone pythons and five fire lions. The stone pythons are physical attackers with defensive capabilities, while the fire lions are purely magical attackers. They're still very powerful for grinding quests, but when it comes to soloing that spider boss, they're far from enough. With just one swipe of its tail, three of the stone pythons were instantly killed, and the other two were left with low health.
Not enough time to deploy Flying again, the Spider Spirit has launched its next attack. This time, the remaining two Stone Pythons were also defeated. The fire pillar sprayed by the Fire Lion every second only reduced the Spider Spirit's blood volume by a single digit, which compared to the Spider Spirit's hundreds of millions of blood volume, didn't even reduce its skin. Because this Spider Spirit automatically recovered over a thousand health per second!
With the help of the spider spirit, a group attack instantly killed the fire lion that was flying, and without the pet to attract hatred, the spider spirit also rushed to the front of the flying character in an instant. One move down, the flying character directly hung up.
Zhan Fei was also startled and slapped the table, but he didn't notice that on one side of the table, a cup of water was knocked over by Zhan Fei's slap. The water flowed directly onto the socket on the edge and also onto Zhan Fei's hand which was holding the mouse.
Zhan Fei also suddenly felt that he had touched something wet, and then directly fainted. The computer was still on, but Zhan Fei's character, which had hung up, did not appear in the reincarnation department as usual, but disappeared. After playing for a while, a "parameter error" prompt popped up on the screen, and the game automatically exited.
Zhan Fei fainted and fell backwards onto his bed, looking as if he had fallen asleep. His two roommates were unaware of what happened, with Zhou Tai wearing headphones and chatting enthusiastically with his online girlfriend Nini, while Guo Xin was busy doing a three-ring task.
It was as if a second had passed, or perhaps an entire century, when Zhan Fei suddenly opened his eyes. If someone were in front of him, they would have seen a flash of blue light in his eyes. Zhan Fei also rubbed his head, and then remembered that he had just been electrocuted. Luckily, he hadn't died!
He glanced at the two guys who were still playing games and said, "Brother, I almost died, you guys didn't even know!"
Zhan Fei said, wiping the water on the computer desk with a dry towel, and then prepared to continue his game. A minor accident couldn't interrupt Zhan Fei's breakthrough career! However, when Zhan Fei logged in again, the game system prompted that the character did not exist!
