Chapter 1089 She, He, and His Knife

At the same time, Liao Jingchen's face under the mask was in doubt.

Because at the moment when he chopped down with his Tang sword, a white-gold light shield enveloped "Rongrong". This unreserved sword was completely blocked, causing no damage, and even "Rongrong" did not get any bumps.

This light shield was not the white light during the novice protection period, nor was it the special effect of defensive props. For a moment, even Liao Jingchen, a veteran player with a lot of experience, was stunned.

He put away his sword and summoned the system light screen to check "Rongrong's" information.

Windows popped up one after another under the operation, and Liao Jingchen's eyes became deeper as his eyes swept.

"'Lover'..."

His tone was gloomy, and the meaning of gritting teeth could be heard from these two words alone.

Jiang Rong was still in a daze, with his arms curled in front of him, standing timidly beside him and not daring to move.

Liao Jingchen poked the pop-up window with his index finger twice, which said [Due to special circumstances, you have no right to terminate the master-disciple relationship]. He was annoyed and bored with this unexpected disaster. He turned his head and glared at the pitiful Jiang Rong with disgust.

Jiang Rong shrank again: QwQ?

[Lovers] can not only freely choose their mentors, but also have an invincible aura for novices. It is really impossible to unlock and kill. The objective iron law of the game is so tyrannical that Liao Jingchen has no way to deal with the current situation. His eyes suddenly sank, and his fist hanging by his leg clenched tightly.

With a cold snort, Liao Jingchen turned around again, and Jiang Rong subconsciously followed. Immediately, a small knife stabbed into the ground just a fraction away from her toes, scaring her to "Woo Wow!" and fell backwards to the ground.

At this time, Liao Jingcheng was already wrapped in a deep and shallow purple light. When this magnificent light dispersed again, his figure was no longer there.

Jiang Rong stretched out her hands in vain: "Ah, ah..."

She was still in a collapsed position, and was thrown into the clearing in the forest by Liao Jingcheng.

...

[Fuck, did he teleport away directly?]

[Damn it, I can't bear to see our Rongrong alone TAT]

[Beat Liao Jingchen violently! (bushi) Wait for you to be buried in the crematorium when you chase your wife in the future! ! ]

[Well, actually I understand the male protagonist. . . ]

[Understanding is understandable, but Jue Ge, you acted so fierce (TдT)]

[Though fierce, but handsome (slurp.jpg]

[I haven't read the original work, why is Jingchen so rude to Rongrong?]

[Well, because he is under a lot of psychological pressure, he has always been so gloomy and irritable in the "other world" ("other world" = holographic online game, a magical change of the drama)]

[But the heroine didn't provoke him, she told him that she was a newbie, it's not impossible to be a little considerate?]

[How should I put it, there has never been an obligation to tolerate and understand others... Especially now that the two are not familiar with each other, we know that this is the male and female protagonists, and Jingchen doesn't know (gestures]

[Passive provocation is also considered provocation, after all, it is indeed Jiang Rong who clicked to confirm the apprenticeship]

[+1, I don't like the theory of "ignorance is not a crime", and I was suddenly not It's annoying when someone you know gets involved with you]

"There's another point here." Qin Jue said, "Liao Jingchen doesn't dislike Jiang Rong, he dislikes the game mechanism."

"In reality, he is controlled by his family, especially his father, and he has to obey everything and has no autonomy. The game is one of the few places where he can make his own decisions and do whatever he wants, but suddenly a 'lover' comes out and forces him to become his apprentice.

"This feeling of forced control, loss of choice and freedom suddenly brings Liao Jingchen back to reality from the game, so his reaction is so intense."

The sketch pen turns back and forth between Qin Jue's index finger, middle finger and ring finger, "Come on, recall. Liao Jingchen had just been lectured by his father before he played the game, and he went to the online game to escape reality and vent his emotions, but inexplicably It's strange that he was 'arranged' again and couldn't resist, so of course he didn't feel good. Jiang Rong can be said to be angered. "

[Oh...!]

[So there is this meaning]

[Ahahaha, screenwriter: I really didn't think so much when I wrote it (dog head]

"Don't say that, most of the main creative teams consider much more than you think when creating works."

Qin Jue reminded in a gentle voice, "Just kidding, don't really think so."

"Go on. Liao Jingchen has to deal with various interpersonal interactions every day in reality. For example, in the first half of this episode, he mentioned that the two vice presidents of the student union, Zhang Yan and Chen Yina, had their own things to do, right? He even noticed that Chen Yina was unwell.

"Looking at the way Liao Jingchen was loved by students on campus, it can also show that he is usually I pay a lot of attention to others in the game, otherwise I wouldn't have such a high prestige.

"It's very troublesome to pay attention to so many people all the time and care about them in time. It means that you have to spend a lot of energy, care less about yourself, and care more about others - that's what we commonly call "social hell". Liao Jingchen is good at this, but it doesn't mean he won't be tired. This is why he is alone in the game, because he really doesn't want to have contact with others or care about others' feelings anymore."

Qin Jue stopped spinning the pen and shrugged: "Coincidentally, Jiang Rong's "lover" setting allows her to be forced to become a disciple. Liao Jingchen was originally alone, but he was suddenly forced to have a close connection with others, and he couldn't cut it off, so he was naturally annoyed and wanted to explode."

[Wow, there are so many deep meanings...]

[Okay, my analysis is right! Happy! (ps. What's the matter with the feeling of comparing answers with a nerd hhhhhh]

[Oh, I understand. To put it simply, Liao Jingchen was stepped on one after another, right? 】

[Jingchen: So bored that I want to die.jpg]

【Indeed! ! Sometimes I really want to stay in my own private space and completely ignore other people]

[Yes, ah, ah, ah, serving others is so tiring. I hate my please-pleaser personality...]

[Damn it, Teacher Qin is partial, no matter how difficult the male protagonist is, he cannot be cruel to the female protagonist! ! The heroine is so innocent! ! #angry】

"What kind of partiality is this?" Qin Jue said, "Is it okay?" "What I explained was the reason why Liao Jingchen behaved like that just now, and I didn't say that his cruelty to Jiang Rong was right and could be forgiven. Don’t engage in black and white dualism.”

"Both Liao Jingchen and Jiang Rong are perfect in the drama "Shadow Link". They both need to slowly reconcile and grow themselves. This is the first episode. There are twelve episodes in total. Don't worry."

[If nothing else, the male protagonist is indeed forced to suffer miserably by his family=. =It’s very important to hope that your son will become a dragon】

[That is, why do parents always think that their children should grow up to be what they expect?]

[Hey, I seem to have found another correspondence. In Liao Jingchen's family, the parents want him to do whatever he wants and force him to be excellent and perfect. On the other hand, Jiang Rong's mother wants her to live a happy and comfortable life, but Jiang Rong feels that the family can only rely on her, so she is under great pressure and forces herself to Strong and excellent]

"Yes." Qin Jue said with appreciation after reading this barrage, "Liao Jingchen's conflicts and pain come from the outside world, while Jiang Rong comes from herself."

"Let's continue watching. The first episode is almost at the end."

…

Jiang Rong sat slumped on the ground in a daze for a while. After regaining consciousness, she pursed her lips, looking annoyed and aggrieved.

"Is this the boss?" She sighed, "It's so scary, I almost thought I was going to be killed... But then again, people who are not decisive can't be so strong."

Jiang Rong said with a helpless and self-deprecating smile.

Although she had been treated coldly and roughly just now, she did not complain, nor was she angry. She said that she had calmed herself down while talking, and she reached out curiously to touch around in the void around her.

"Why am I fine? Is the 'lover' so powerful?...Huh?!"

While mumbling, Jiang Rong was slightly frightened by the information window that suddenly popped up.

She blinked and looked at it carefully: "Before turning on technical specialization, 'The Lover' has a special buff state [Guardian Aura], which can offset all physical attacks and magic attacks, and reduce 50% of negative status effects."

Jiang Rong: "?"

Jiang Rong: "Oh!!!"

"Then I'm invincible!" She jumped up with high morale, and immediately realized a problem, "...wait, what is technical expertise?"

(ω)……

Jiang Rong blinked his eyes and lowered his head in distress for a while: "This game is so complicated..."

She tried to summon the system light screen, scratched her head and started researching it from scratch. She finally found some direction and received the novice task.

"Find the guide [Shen Zhiqian] near the teleportation hall. Oh, this should be the NPC. Uh, can you ask for directions in this game? Let's see if there is a map first..."

Jiang Rong mumbled while operating the interface.

Although she is new to gaming, she is not clueless. After trying it for a while, she figured out the basic functions one by one. However, her movements and memory are still a bit unfamiliar and she needs more practice to become more proficient.

"Oh, found it!"

Within a few minutes, Jiang Rong's eyes lit up. He breathed a sigh of relief and was full of interest at the same time. His love and expectations for the game were not affected by what happened before.

"Go, go, go!" Jiang Rong turned around with interest, paused as soon as he started, and turned to look at the ground.

There was a knife stuck there, left by her nominal mentor, uh, the unknown boss just now.

"Well, it would be better to give it to him..."

Jiang Rong muttered, walked over and used some strength to pull out the knife that was deeply embedded in the soil.

She carefully swept away the dust on it, and the properties of the knife emerged automatically.

[Name: Demon Sword Broken · Seven]

[Type: Hidden Weapon-Consumables]

[Quality: Rare]

【attack:? ? ? 】

[Emotion: Fury +120% | Worry +115%]

[Weight: light]

[Source: Special Copy - Night Abyss; Special Copy - Ice Cliff]

[Equipment conditions: Technical Specialization-Shooting Lv.10] [Due to the sharing mechanism of items owned by master and apprentice, this condition is invalid by default]

[Note: The demon lord Fidel failed to woo the Queen of Sorrow, and was confused all day long. One day, he lost a fight with outsiders, and angrily threw his weapon, the Dark Soul Demonic Sword, on the cold cliff. The Demon Sword was damaged due to impact, and the fragments were collected by Zhan Zhi, an old man who lived in seclusion at the bottom of the cliff. Later, they were made into thirteen hidden weapons, named Demon Sword Shattered, and given to the destined people. 】

Jiang Rong: "Wow..."

I can’t quite understand it, but it feels amazing!

"No, such a precious thing must be returned to him as soon as possible..." Jiang Rong opened the communication interface a little awkwardly, found the only chat box, deleted, modified and sent a few words to "Jingchen" with the [Mentor] logo.

[Excuse me, boss. I am the rookie just now. I am really sorry for accidentally recognizing you as my master! ! T^T]

[I will find a way to terminate the master-disciple relationship as soon as possible! sorry Sorry! ! 】

[Also... I left your knife with me, the one called Yaodaoshan. How should I return it to you? 】

I sent a few lines of messages, but as expected, there was no response.

Jiang Rong covered his forehead in frustration: "Ignore me completely, Boss Jingchen..."

She sighed tiredly, looked at the low-profile demon knife in her hand, puffed her cheeks for a while, and muttered: "Since you don't reply to my words, then I will... use it a little? Just once, and I will apologize to you then... …”

[Hahahahahahahaha, Rongrong: Quietly.jpg]

【The mumbling look is so cutewww】

[What kind of erroneous love token is this? It’s hilarious]

[I suddenly became interested in this game...]

The screen paused for a moment on the back of Jiang Rong holding the demon knife and turning to look for the mission NPC. Then there was a classic and common process. As different scenes faded in and out, Jiang Rong on the screen was either listening seriously. The NPC talks, or looks at the map with a confused expression to find its way around, or holds a knife and gestures not far away from the animal-shaped creature with tears in its eyes, trembling, which vividly interprets the confusion of starting a game and opening up wasteland for the first time. hapiness.

"Woah...waaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, don't come over!!"

Although Jiang Rong was the first to hold the Demon Sword Shatter and prepare to attack, when the target monster rushed towards him with a low roar, she still burst into tears on the spot and squatted on the ground with her head in fear, trembling.

The familiar "buzz" sound sounded again. Jiang Rong opened his eyes and saw the light shield covering his body. The next second, the monster rushed at him again without giving up, but was still blocked by the light shield and could only choke. Toothless and furious.

Jiang Rong: "Wow..."

Jiang Rong: "Hey hey hey."

Jiang Rong: "Hey hee hee hee!! (☆ω☆*)"

Jiang Rong had a ferocious smile on her face, and just when the audience thought she was going to attack violently, she cowardly stabbed forward a little bit with the demon knife.

The scene seemed to be subtly still for a second, with a small Jiang Rong and the monster staring at each other with big eyes.

Then the beast-shaped monster didn't even roar, it shattered into light spots, and dropped a pair of horns and a few gold coins on the spot.

Jiang Rong: "...?"

Her eyes widened, like that frightened little hamster that is very popular on the Internet.jpg, her gaze moved slowly, and fell on the seemingly ordinary knife in her hand, with a look of disbelief on her face.

[The purple consumables thrown by the boss will instantly kill the novice monsters hahahahahahahaha]

[Hilarious, such a corny plot, but I love it so much]

["After logging into the game, I was pampered by the irritable boss"]

【←You know how to take names o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓】

[Pinch me, the furry villain’s smile just now almost made me happy to death]

[What a flexible expression hhhh, so cute! ! ! 】

The barrage was filled with laughter, and Qin Jue also laughed along with it.

Needless to say, Tutu's use of such a cute face to make a grinning expression is both effective and hilarious. I feel that it won't be long before she becomes the new generation king of emoji pack suppliers on the Internet.

Super fierce! .jpg

Smiling evilly! .jpg

The more Qin Jue thought about it, the more funny he found it. He laughed and shook his head. When the sharp-eyed ladies noticed, several lines of "Ooooh, so doting" and "Thank you, I got it (referring to the drama!)" suddenly floated in the live broadcast room. Barrage.

At this moment, Jiang Rong on the screen had completed "One Poke and Die" x3, ran to submit the task with the horn in his arms, and successfully obtained a novice necklace.

Although its attributes were completely incomparable to those of Yao Dao Sui, Jiang Rong liked the shiny pendant on the necklace and looked at it happily after putting it on.

"Hey, my dream of wearing jewelry has come true~!"

She jumped a few steps and skillfully summoned the system light screen to check the time.

"It's time to log off, I have something to do tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned to the communication interface and said "Uh-huh", "You still haven't replied to me, boss..."

Seeing that "Jingchen" above the chat box still showed [In Game], Jiang Rong hesitated and typed:

[Boss, I’m going to get off. I want to say sorry to you again——! ! 】

[I really want to smash your demon sword into pieces and return it to its original owner. Can you please reply to me? 】

【Then let me get off first...? 】

【you should also rest earlier! Good night! 】

After deliberately waiting, it turned out that the other side was still cold. Jiang Rong had no choice but to reach out and put the broken demon knife into his game backpack and keep it well.

In the holographic online game "Heart Shadow Link", different types of items have different access methods. For weapons, the hand needs to be lowered or pulled out on the lower back. Jiang Rong has already reached level five through the novice mission. For this Class operations are also becoming familiar.

She walked to a secluded corner and spun around twice before exiting the game. She watched her skirt swirl like a flower, smiling happily and contentedly.

"Woohoo~ It's coming, it's coming~"

A white light flashed, and the scene turned to Jiang Rong lying on the bed in reality. She reached out and fumbled to take off her gaming glasses.

The lights in the dormitory were turned off at this time, and the glasses automatically deformed and shrank in the darkness, returning to their original form as a bracelet. Jiang Rong easily put it on her wrist.

Both roommates had fallen asleep. She turned over gently, took out her cell phone next to her pillow, and searched for "Heart Shadow Link".

"Top 10 Must-Read Things for Beginners"

"Several Suggestions on Reasonable Choice of Technical Specialization"

"Level 1-50 actual test, teach you step by step how to do the psychological test to increase your attributes!" 》

"Complete summary of copies!" Including beginner, intermediate, advanced, large group editions, special editions, and hidden editions》

"Demon King related氵|This guy is so hard to kill. More than ten people can't beat him"

《Reasoning, is it better to have a full set of purple equipment with a set bonus, or is it better to have a combination of one orange and multiple purple equipment with a bonus?》

Jiang Rong looked at various game discussions with a confused look on her face. She selectively clicked on posts for novice players, opened her eyes wide while reading, as if she had an epiphany.

Her inner voice sounded: "So that's how it is. The four emotions correspond to character attributes. [Joy] increases effect resistance, [Rage] increases critical hits and critical damage, [Sorrow] is for attack and hit, [Fear] is for movement speed..."

Looking at it, Jiang Rong shrank his head in frustration.

"Why do I feel like I'm the only one who is answering the questions on the test questionnaire seriously! Oh, it turns out that experienced old players all choose options with a purpose and directly brush the starting attributes..."

Jiang Rong grabbed the quilt to cover her head.

It's already a relatively failed life, please let me die slowly.jpg

A few seconds later, Jiang Rong silently pulled the quilt off again.

What's the matter? Even if my emotional attribute ratio is not that good, I did it one by one, and it's the real me!

Hey, come to think of it, I didn't see any introduction related to "love" just now?

Jiang Rong thought for a moment, raised his phone to register an account temporarily, and pressed the virtual keyboard.

"Newbie help, are there other attributes besides joy, rage, worry and fear at the beginning? "

This point is not too late for real night owls, and there will be a reply soon.

1L: No, newbies just read the guide honestly

2L: Are you confused? There are only these four emotional attributes, and they are only available before creating a character. After entering the game, the attack and life are additional attributes on the equipment, which are different from emotions

3L: Huh? Did the host see the gossip somewhere? It was indeed revealed before that in addition to the four emotional attributes of joy, there are two starting attributes, which are very rare hidden items, but the authenticity is questionable, and I don't know any more details. Also, I advise the OP not to aim too high. You can play this game well without the hidden attributes.

4L: [Reply to 3L] Is there such a thing? We are both new players, please elaborate

5L: OP, stop fishing. It has been such a long time and you are still fishing. Family members should come and see the new dungeon nearby

6L: As for whether there are hidden attributes at the beginning, I can only say that those who understand will understand

7L: To answer the OP's question, no, don't ask. Someone once tried to complete all the permutations and combinations of 200 questions and didn't see anything triggered

8L: 200 questions? ? When I finished the 120th question, I saw the completion button and clicked it. I didn't miss any attribute values!

9L: [Reply to 8L] Don't worry about it. Doing 60% is enough. The remaining 80 questions are purely for the setting of this game, the real soul shadow and so on, don't worry

10L [OP]: Uh, has anyone heard of "lover"?

11L:?

12L: Don't fish, brother. If you're so free, why don't you go out for a run?

13L: If you can come up with a good noun, I'll be happy to play along with you. . .

14L: I'm from next door. Let me see if the fisherman has nothing today?

15L: Can the starting attribute be 100%? The highest seems to be only 98% at the moment

The replies gradually increased, but the topic in the post became more and more off-topic. Basically, no one paid attention to Jiang Rong's comments.

"What?" Jiang Rong said loudly in her heart, "I'm a real [lover]! I also have a super powerful halo!"

She thought so, but didn't care. She put down her phone and touched the bracelet, playing with it while thinking about the things in the game.

There was a slight sound of cricket pupae from the bed next door. It was Wan Ning mumbling in his sleep:

"Hehe, Lord Jingchen..."

Jiang Rong, who had raised his upper body, listened and felt a little funny, but the corners of his mouth were halfway raised and then retracted.

Jingchen?

Jingchen...

Could there be such a coincidence?

Jiang Rong thought about it and knocked her head for a while.

"How is it possible!" She said in her heart, "'Jingchen' is so fierce, and he is completely different from the school hunk I met today."

"Okay, stop thinking about it, go to sleep."

After urging herself, Jiang Rong put on the bracelet again, covered herself with the quilt and closed her eyes.

The picture paused for half a second, her sleeping face gradually faded, and the ending song sounded naturally.

The first episode of "Heart Shadow Link" ended.
