Chapter Five: The Person on the Eaves

  Akai stuffed his mouth with noodles, originally wanting to finish eating quickly so as not to keep the three people waiting, but unexpectedly the three people didn't even think about waiting for him and were about to leave, he could only nod his head.

  Suddenly remembered something, hastily spat out a mouthful of noodles and chased out the door. The three people had already disappeared. It seems that although the three people were calm in the house, once they went out the door, they ran wildly, otherwise how could they have disappeared so quickly.

  Also, not telling me which internet cafe to go to, I'm going to look for a ghost! Ye Kai cursed inwardly and reluctantly took out his phone to make one last effort, knowing that the hope was slim. The three of them had always claimed that they couldn't let external worldly things disturb their cultivation in the game, so they never turned on their phones during gaming sessions. And outside of gaming time, they were always sleeping, which meant it was even more impossible to disturb them, so generally speaking, their phones were always off.

  A beautiful female voice came from the phone, speaking fluent and clearer-than-hearing-test English, announcing the shattering of Ye Kai's fantasy.

  Helpless Ye Kai, after finishing the noodles, came back to the internet cafe that he had just left an hour ago. The boss saw Ye Kai and burst out laughing, "You're back again! Are you going to pull an all-nighter?"

  "Boss, you're quite knowledgeable!"

  "Of course, I've been running this internet cafe for some years now. Not only can I tell that you're planning to stay up all night, but I can also see that you weren't a frequent online gamer in the past!"

  "Huh, how did you figure it out?!"

  "Hah, you're a frequent visitor to internet cafes for gaming, how can you still look so neat and tidy with your hair all combed?"

  Akai thought for a moment about the three in the dormitory, and it was indeed the case. "Boss, are there any more machines?"

  "There is, you left and no one has used it yet, go back there!"

  "Uh-huh!" Akai responded and returned to his familiar window, entering the game.

  In the game, Feng Xiao Xiao is still in the newbie village, and has just been PKed by a few "ding dings" and has forgotten everything, and hasn't even left yet.

  Go directly to the village chief, and the village chief once again expressed his affirmation with a sigh of accomplishment, and gave him spiritual encouragement for his future, then asked where he wanted to go!

  "Can we go anywhere?"

  "That's not possible, I can only take you to a few cities around our village!"

  "Can I come back if I leave?"

  "In theory, it's not possible, but as the most accomplished young person in our village's history, whatever help you need in the future, our entire village will unanimously agree to provide, after all, our village has been around for a very, very long time..."

  "Ah, village head, I still have a long way to go, hurry up and send me off! Just take me anywhere!"

  "Alright, good kid, from now on you'll be wandering the world. Don't lose face for our village, after all, our village is a very, very old..."

  "Village chief, don't worry, I won't bring shame to our village. Oh dear, there are people coming to our village again. I won't keep you any longer, and you don't need to remind me either. Send me off, come on, let's go!"

  The wind was howling and in his heart he really couldn't help but want to slap the village chief all the way to the bottom of the earth.

  "Alas, such an understanding child, it's really hard to let you go! Alright, I won't say more, you can go!" Before the words were even finished, the scene had already flashed by, and Feng Xiao Xiao had left the village.

  Everything went dark and then bright again, and I found myself in a huge square. It was so big that I couldn't tell how large it was because there were too many people around.

  The crowd in front of me was bustling with excitement, and after a busy day, I finally saw a real person.

  People passing by have cloaks on their bodies and straw hats on their heads; some wear village chief shirts, shaking paper fans in their hands; others wear copper armor, holding long guns; there are also those with bare heads, wrapped in Buddhist robes; and many female knights, wearing tight-fitting uniforms, with a shining treasure sword inserted diagonally on their backs...

  Wow, it's really exciting. What's even more thrilling is that there are quite a few people dressed in the same laborer attire as me, and many of them are carrying Li Dashi's legendary axe, making it look like an Axe Gang gathering.

  After turning a few circles, the excited mood gradually calmed down. To be honest, this square is just a big marketplace! No wonder there are so many people. But this city is also big enough, because after walking out of the square for a few steps, I got lost already.

  The wind is blowing now through several streets, because this area is all residential, and the architectural style is mostly the same, it's impossible to tell which one is which!

  After running around for a while, Feng Xiao Xiao finally saw someone sitting on the eaves of the house in front. Rushing over, "Excuse me, where is this place?"

  That person looked at Feng Xiao Xiao with a strange gaze, and after seeing her attire, he nodded understandingly and said: "This is Xiangyang City, one of the major cities."

  "So where am I in the city now!"

  "You're not just on a street, but also have some kind of road like we usually do, with numbers and all!"

  "True, but how can I get back to that crowded square now?"

  "It's hard to express in words, why don't you come and see for yourself!" With that, the person leaped down, swung up again with a whooshing sound, and then jumped onto the rooftop of a slightly taller building next door.

  The ancients said: "To exhaust the view of a thousand miles, ascend another level!" This saying is not wrong at all. Because there was no higher floor to climb around, the wind whistled and couldn't see further, so they couldn't find the square either.

  "I still can't see the square!"

  "Of course, the square is behind you, you have to turn around to see it!"

  "Dizzy, why did I seem to become stupid in the game!"

  "Haha, I can tell you're not a frequent gamer. Actually, nowadays games are just like our everyday lives. How you behave in real life is how you'll be in the game too. People like you always forget common sense when entering the game!" The stranger said with a smile.

  The wind whistled as he turned around, and a stranger stood behind him. Behind the stranger were several streets, and after walking through those streets, he indeed saw a bustling square teeming with people.

  The wind was blowing gently, and only then did he take a closer look at this stranger. He was dressed differently from most people, with long hair tied back with just a headscarf, wearing clothes that seemed to be an improved version of work attire, with a sword slung obliquely at his waist. At a glance, it was clear that his sword was of higher quality than those of the female knights, for his sword had a scabbard.

  "Judging from what you just said, I can tell you're an expert! So hurry up and teach me what to do now!"

  "Don't you have friends? Didn't you come out to play with your friends?"

  "They did come, but they went to the internet cafe first, I couldn't find them!"

  "You can also contact them in the game!"

  "How to contact!"

  "Find them by their names and add as friends just like using QQ!"

  "We just started playing today and we haven't even had a chance to ask each other's names yet!"

  "Wow, what's your name? I'll add you as a friend. If there's anything you don't know, feel free to ask me anytime!"

  "Thanks a lot, I'm Feng Xiao Xiao!"

  The system immediately prompted that Yijian Chongtian has added you as a friend. At the same time, Yijian Chongtian's voice also sounded in his ear: "Okay, I've added you! You add me too!"

  After adding you as a friend, Feng Xiao Xiao asked: "Now I can contact you anytime?"

  "Yes, this connection is like texting in real life, can't be like a phone call!"

  "That's settled, what should I do now?"

  "Of course I'm leveling up, how can you survive in a game if you don't level up?"

  "Where's the practice?"

  "You newbies can practice as soon as you leave the city gate, there are many things on the roadside and in the woods that you can fight."

  "What is the highest level in this game?"

  "There is no highest, only higher!"

  "What grade are you in?"

  "Level 60 now!"

  "Is it expensive?"

  "It's not just about saying it, but this game level can't explain everything, martial arts and equipment are more important, the level can be said to a certain extent is only for higher-level equipment and martial arts."

  "What clothes are you wearing, what weapon are you using, and what martial arts have you practiced?!"

  "This, I'm wearing a 'You Xia Shan' (Wanderer's Shirt), a special garment for swordsmen. The sword I use is called the 'Seven Extremes Whirlwind Sword'. My martial arts skills were originally from the Wudang Sect, but now I've left the sect and am wandering in the Jianghu (martial world). Just now, when I pulled you up, it was our Wudang's famous lightness skill 'Ti Yun Zong' (Ladder Cloud Leap). There are many other martial arts skills, mental disciplines, internal energy techniques... too many to mention. You wouldn't remember even if I told you, and I'm too lazy to explain in detail!"

  "Also, I think my question was too broad. What are you doing now?"

  "We're waiting for you!"

  "Oh, I won't bother you then, I'm leaving, you can keep waiting! I'll go practice!"

  "Alright, I'll see you off!"

  One sword rushed to the sky, dragging the wind whistling, and after a few leaps, it arrived on a street. "Just follow this road out of the city gate, that place is suitable for you newbies to practice. When you reach level 10, you can find a sect to practice sect martial arts. If you have nothing to do, go online and take a look, there are many people teaching how to play!"

  He said, taking out a small knife from his bosom, "This knife is for you. It was what I used when I first started leveling up and I never had the heart to throw it away. This is a flying knife, which belongs to the category of hidden weapons, most suitable for newbies to level up with. You can attack from a distance and there's less danger."

  "Throw it away and it's gone?"

  "Hah, generally it's like that, but this one is endless, in the game it's called auto-replenishment, after all it's still a game! Still doesn't conform to realistic rules!"

  "Oh, thank you so much, I'm leaving, goodbye!"

  "Hehe, you don't have to thank me either. I'm not usually so eager to help others, it's just that my mood is too good today. See you!" With that said, he jumped away and disappeared again.
