Chapter 1092 "Heart Shadow Link" (23)
Chapter 1092 "Heart Shadow Link" (2-3)
The interview location for the drama club was in the lecture theater. Gan Xiaoyu and Jiang Rong arrived too early. At this time, the classroom was still occupied by other clubs, so they could only wait outside the door.
Jiang Rong was bored with waiting, so he found an open space for a walk and memorized words. He inadvertently walked around to the side of the lecture theater, and saw a figure in his field of vision.
She looked closer and the screen cut to a close-up. She saw Liao Jingchen quietly looking up at the window. His handsome and clean side face was set against the slightly blurred background of trees and flowers. The picture was beautiful and fresh. It was a textbook-like campus idol drama. Classic shot.
With the early foreshadowing and suspense, this one-on-one encounter scene is undoubtedly a climax of the plot. The male and female protagonists also started a conversation as the audience expected. Liao Jingchen was the first to notice Jiang Rong's gaze, turned his head, and then noticed the word card in her hand, and smiled politely and tenderly:
"Sorry to bother you with memorizing words."
Jiang Rong shrugged: "It doesn't matter."
Then he said: "Are you waiting for the classroom too?"
"What?"
"The interview for the drama club." Jiang Rong said, "When this club ends now, it will be the drama club's turn."
Liao Jingchen blinked slowly, his smile still gentle: "No, I was just passing by and standing here in a daze."
Jiang Rong glanced at him and then looked at the lecture theater in the window:
"Really? Maybe it's because your eyes are beautiful, and they are so affectionate even when you are in a daze."
Liao Jingchen's lips moved slightly: "...Probably, thank you for the compliment."
The student union president, who had always been calm and tactful, was suddenly deflated by this casual teasing, and the scene suddenly became more interesting.
Jiang Rong said nothing again.
I don’t know whether it was because he wanted to find a new step for himself, or because his good qualities had always made Liao Jingchen habitually relieve the stiff atmosphere. He kept smiling and asked casually:
"Listen to what you just said, are you here to audition for the drama club?"
Jiang Rong said "Hmm" and looked at him: "That's it for now."
"I wish you all your wishes." Liao Jingchen found his comfort zone, with sincere eyes and a gentle smile on his lips.
After saying that, as if he was still taking advantage of the victor's attitude of successfully controlling the field, Liao Jingchen nodded to Jiang Rong with a smile, then passed her by and walked away at a slightly faster pace.
"Getting your wish...?"
Jiang Rong turned to look at Liao Jingchen's back, muttering and repeating these four words.
Then she remained motionless and paused in place for three seconds.
…
…………
………………
"What were I talking about just now? That's Liao Jingchen!! We haven't seen each other for two weeks and I almost forgot who that handsome face is. I just remembered it now!!! He doesn't think I'm quarreling with him, does he? Probably not Right? I've been pretending to be strong for so long that I don't know how to talk to boys normally..."
Jiang Rong's heart was breaking down. She moved her eyes to the left little by little, and turned her head and body back little by little. She began to deceive herself that nothing had happened.
A hand suddenly patted Jiang Rong's shoulder from behind. She was startled and turned her head immediately.
"Wow!" Gan Xiaoyu was frightened by Jiang Rong's reaction, "Rongrong, are you distracted? I see there is already a queue at the door of the lecture theater, let's go quickly!"
Jiang Rong calmly breathed a sigh of relief and said in a weak tone: "...Yeah."
Soon, the interview began. Because of this incident with Liao Jingchen, Jiang Rong, who originally had no intention of joining the drama club, accepted the enthusiastic recruitment of her senior and officially became a member of the drama club.
At the same time, Gan Xiaoyu, who was interviewing at the other end of the classroom, also successfully joined the drama club's logistics team.
The one who contrasts sharply with the two of them is Wan Ning. The Student Union's External Affairs Department, in the name of testing the freshmen's adaptability, deliberately changed the time and place of the interview, catching Wan Ning off guard. By the time she rushed to the lecture theater out of breath, the drama club interview was coming to an end.
"Hmm... Wan Ning, right?"
The senior sitting in the center confirmed the information and asked a few questions casually, "Well, well, that's all right, Wan Ning. We will notify you via text message later."
"Eh?" Wan Ning was still out of breath, "Senior, I, I still have talent! I'm ready to sing -"
The senior hesitated for two seconds: "Well, okay, then you can show it."
Wan Ning nodded gratefully, took a deep breath and started singing. Unfortunately, her performance on the spot was affected by many factors, and her note broke after singing only two lines.
She saw the seniors sitting in the front row frowning, feeling flustered and aggrieved, and she fought hard: "I really want to join the drama club! Please consider——"
"Yeah, okay." A senior sister interrupted her in a friendly manner, "We will notify you of the results later. Just wait for the text message."
Wan Ning bit her lip, bowed unwillingly, turned and walked towards the door.
Before she left, she heard the person behind her sneer contemptuously, and her expression suddenly worsened, and she gritted her teeth bitterly all the way back to the dormitory.
[This female supporting role has a lot of roles, is she related to her? #pick nose]
[Well, I sympathized with her a little bit at first, but why did she sneer at Jiang Rong and Gan Xiaoyu after she returned? It’s not like they made you break your voice when singing]
[Wan Ning...well, I can only say that it is reasonable for her to become a vicious female supporting role]
[Am I the only one who thinks Wan Ning is a normal person? Wasn't Jiang Rong able to join the drama club just because she was good-looking and had the aura of being a heroine? 】
[Haha, yes, you are the only one, and I am the i heroine. What's wrong? Why don't you call the police? 】
[No, sisters, don't quarrel at home...]
The barrage started to argue back and forth, and was replaced by more barrages that wanted to stop the quarrel. It was not until the plot progressed to the point where Jiang Rong lay down in bed and put on the game glasses that the style of the painting changed, and they all started to brush [It's coming] and [Blind guess, high energy ahead!].
The familiar white screen transitioned, and the "furry" Jiang Rong appeared on the screen.
She skillfully opened the task panel and continued to run errands for the NPC. After a while, she was enveloped by a beam of light that symbolized the upgrade.
"Wow, level 25!"
Jiang Rong jumped happily and stretched by the way, "Hey, what is this?"
A new information window popped up, and she read it out word by word: "Congratulations on reaching level 25. Please open at least one technical expertise. Before successfully opening a technical expertise, your level will not continue to increase."
"Hmm..."
Jiang Rong frowned and clicked the four words [Technical Expertise] with a color mark to open a more detailed sub-window.
The technical expertise of the holographic online game "Heart Shadow Link" is divided into four categories: "fighting", "shooting", "spells", and "medical treatment". The first two are mainly physical attacks, and the latter two are mainly magic attacks (treatment).
The official has given sufficient space for players to integrate and create on their own. In the case that weapons and technical expertise do not correspond one to one, as long as players like, they can make their knives, swords, spears, etc. in their hands tumble with flames, with both physical and magic attacks. Similarly, those who want to make trouble can also use "fighting" and "medical treatment" expertise at the same time, stabbing people while saving people...
Jiang Rong has read relevant game posts in the forum, among which a big guy has shared his weapon and expertise design, forming many branches under various permutations and combinations, such as pistol + fighting + shooting, which can be both close combat and long-range, and bow + shooting + medical treatment, which can provide output when advancing and can treat teammates when retreating.
However, how to cultivate expertise is also a technical job. Many players still abandoned these fancy things after experiments, and first focused on improving one of the expertise in a disciplined manner, and then made other plans when the level is high and there is enough room.
Jiang Rong was not obsessed with upgrading and becoming stronger in this game, but she was very interested in studying these wonderful combinations. She decided to open all four technical specializations in turn and try them slowly.
She closed the prompt window and happily went to find the corresponding NPC. Each specialization corresponds to a small dungeon. Like in school, the NPC instructor explained the operation method and taught the skills, and the player mastered the basic skills through practice in the dungeon.
Jiang Rong was closest to the "medical" instructor. Not long after, she successfully opened her first technical specialization. She then went to find the "combat" instructor without stopping, took the ordinary quality novice long sword given by the NPC and walked into the teleportation point to welcome the new small dungeon trial.
"Roar--"
Across the way was a ferocious humanoid monster, holding a large ring knife, and rushed towards Jiang Rong without saying anything.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...!"
Jiang Rong swallowed her saliva, calmed down and stepped forward.
Clang!
The blade collided with the big ring knife, and a bright red message with a warning symbol popped up on the side of Jiang Rong's main perspective:
[You did not use the skill synchronously! ]
"?! Damn——"
Jiang Rong caught a glimpse of this line of words, and her pupils were shocked instantly. However, it was too late to realize this at this time. In an instant, she was bounced by the force of the humanoid monster and staggered back several steps.
"Hu, ha..."
Jiang Rong calmed her breath on the spot, but the trial monster on the opposite side did not give her time to relax and rushed forward again.
"Ahhhhhhhh, don't come over first!Σ(っ°Д°;)っ"
Jiang Rong ran away with the sword. Usually, when she was doing tasks and fighting monsters, she would squat around for a long time first, and make both psychological and objective preparations before triggering the monster's hatred, and then run and fight for a while, slowly grinding to death with the novice weapons given by the NPC, and only when it really didn't work would she use a big killer like the Demon Sword Shattering.
But the situation is different now. The monsters in the dungeon don't wait for anyone. Jiang Rong's backpack is also blocked. She only has a white weapon with weak damage in her hand. She was chased around in circles. The scene is miserable and funny. The barrage of [Hahahahahahaha] alone occupied half of the screen in Qin Jue's live broadcast room.
[Rongrong baby is too difficult! ! (Sorry, I laughed so hard)]
[How can you negotiate with the monsters when fighting monsters? It's so funny]
[Hey, I suddenly have a question]
Before this barrage was finished, Jiang Rong missed the opportunity to use skills again. She failed to attack and block, and was hit hard by the humanoid monster.
Ding! ——Clang!
Her long sword fell out of her hand, and the whole person drew a parabola in the air, smashing directly into the pile of wooden boxes in the corner. Several wooden boxes cracked, which invisibly showed how serious this injury was.
Jiang Rong's body suddenly trembled, and she fell to the ground trembling.
With a dull thud, Jiang Rong fell to the ground like a dusty rag doll.
She curled up, her already petite figure became even smaller, her face covered in dust showed an expression of extreme shock and fear, her trembling whites were like a close-up shot in a horror movie, casting fear into the audience's eyes as if it were real.
Suddenly, Jiang Rong spat out blood with a "wow".
Rather than vomiting, it was more like vomiting from the stomach.
Jiang Rong's right hand, which was barely supporting the ground, was trembling. She coughed and vomited intermittently, blood dripped, and her body curled up like a shrimp thrown into a pile of dust.
The bright red blood was very dazzling on the gray ground. It was obviously just the embodiment of the damage value in the game, but because Jiang Rong's pain was too real, it rendered an extremely strong absurd horror, turning an ordinary dungeon trial into a slaughter scene.
A tear fell into the small blood puddle.
The camera continued to push up, until it pushed to Jiang Rong's face with messy hair and blood.
She looked at the humanoid monster not far away. The person was lying on his side, but the tears flowed down like crazy, flowing over the top of the nose bridge, even into the other eye, and finally into the messy hair.
The impact of the picture was too strong, almost forcing the people outside the screen to empathize with her, making them realize that she couldn't move because of fear and pain.
[Is the invincible halo of Rongrong gone?]
The barrage that I wanted to send just now came late.
Even though the last word was typed in pinyin due to hand shaking, it also seamlessly reminded everyone of one thing - Jiang Rong had successfully opened the "medical" technical expertise before this, and the "lover" special gain state [guardian halo] that appeared in the first episode and could offset all attacks had disappeared due to the opening of technical expertise.
To put it in a funny way, this is the rollover scene after losing the halo.
To put it in a cruel way, this is a poor guy who was thrown out of the protection circle.
[Why is it so much like me who walked out of the house and was ruthlessly whipped by society?]
Another barrage appeared, originally intended to make a joke to ease the atmosphere, but it made people even more silent.
Jiang Rong in the online game world is her true self, very small, very cowardly, very cute, and also delicate, unable to endure hardships, complaining, and afraid of pain.
She is just an ordinary little girl.
The sudden loss of the powerful barrier was like a series of tragic events replaying in the game, such as the divorce of parents, the death of father, and the coma of mother. Each one was heartbreaking.
A small, gentle, trembling, and weak sob came.
This sound alone made many viewers' eyes red.
Then came the sound of "dong!".
As if it had given enough "rest time", the humanoid monster holding a large ring knife stomped heavily on the ground, like a fierce wall of flesh, without any sympathy or mercy, and crushed it fiercely.
All those in the live broadcast room who had not watched the second episode in full before thought that "Jingchen" was about to appear.
But no.
Only the big hand of the humanoid monster lifted up the embarrassed Jiang Rong and threw him away.
The sound of hitting the wall, the sound of falling to the ground, and the alarm sounded with a bright red prompt message.
[Your blood volume is less than 30%! ]
[Your blood volume is less than 10%! ]
[Your blood volume is less than 2%! 】
Row after row, like death warrants, they are stacked on the side of the main view. In the background that is not in focus, a forearm is trembling.
In the upper left corner, the "furry" blood bar is almost invisible. It is the real "slightest blood". In reality, it is equivalent to being on the verge of death, just one breath away.
The "whoosh" sound of the big ring knife when it fell was particularly terrifying at this moment, and the cold light flashed through Jiang Rong's desperate eyes.
Then a white light, a thin blade, and a pair of goat horns.
The hem of the purple-black long coat like a hell flag swung outward in an arc, like thick ink, blurring in the pair of lifeless eyes that had already accepted their fate.
