Zhou Liye still happily toured Blue Star and even got a souvenir plush toy.
Then the designers invited him to play the beta version of the new game.
Zhou Liye: "...!" Is this the beta version of the "Healing Center"?!
I'm so happy.
But I'm a bit of a coward.
Zhou Liye: "Um... can I... try it out without headphones?"
The designer smiled and said, "Sure."
...3 hours later.
When Zhou Liye returned home from the Blue Star Building, her hair was disheveled, her clothes were rumpled, and her eyes were red, as if she had been ravaged.
When Teacher Zhou saw him like this, she was furious: "What have you been up to?! How did you end up like this?!"
Unexpectedly, the moment his powerful voice came out, Zhou Liye was so frightened that her legs went weak and she knelt down on the ground with a "plop".
Teacher Zhou was stunned.
Zhou Liye cried out, "Daddy, you scared me! You scared me to death, waaaaaaah!" You have no idea what I went through in the game!!
That evening, Zhou Liye tidied up again, then went online to prepare for her live stream.
Then he inadvertently saw his search history on the browser page:
My son has suddenly become effeminate.
What should I do if my son cries all the time?
Will playing video games make my son cry?
Does beating your son work?
...
"?"
Zhou Liye slowly uttered a question mark.
Zhou Liye, having deleted all her history records, first went live on her own channel.
Due to time constraints, he hadn't had time to decide which game to stream, so he announced that he would be streaming at 7 PM.
Unexpectedly, many familiar faces were already waiting in the live stream room, and they immediately started chattering away:
[Big brother, you're here! Big brother, we've been utterly humiliated!]
【1555555551 Why is Earth always like this? My tears are worthless.】
I cried so hard, I played Chopin in the rain.
Zhou Liye quickly asked, "What happened?"
His friends all chimed in, explaining to him what had happened during the days Zhou Liye was away.
It turns out that two months after the launch of the latest expansion pack for "Xia Ke Xing" (侠客行), titled "Feng Yu Ru Hui" (风雨如晦), a certain treacherous minister finally rebelled.
The plot will unfold completely in the next two days!
The prosperous era was ruthlessly shattered, and the flames of war spread throughout the land.
The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, with uprisings breaking out in various places in response to the false king. Large armies besieged the cities along the way and marched towards Zhongdu.
Faced with this situation, the people in the martial arts world initially acted in a scattered manner, while some righteous NPCs would issue missions, allowing players to rescue civilians and repel foreign enemies.
But as the army set out, the fighting suddenly escalated into a full-blown war, and everyone in this catastrophe was as insignificant as an ant.
The first sects to react were the Divine Machine Battalion and the Six Doors. As they were subordinate to the imperial court, they decided to concentrate their forces, summon their disciples scattered throughout the land, and fight the enemy together.
Next were the sects closest to the war, including the Imperial Sword Manor.
Yujian Manor was originally a sect that prioritized swordsmanship and was detached from worldly affairs. Players originally thought they would be the last to be involved.
But no.
Upon hearing the news of the war at the foot of the mountain, the manor lord in white made a decision immediately.
"Come down the mountain with me," he said calmly. "I swear I won't go home until I've bled dry."
A single spark ignited a prairie fire, and soon the smoke of war filled the sky. Heroes from all over the land gathered in response, their cries shaking the heavens.
"I wish I could die in battle, my spirit righteous and heroic!"
"Alas, ten years of drinking ice cannot cool my burning passion. Since my heart is unsettled, let it be."
"When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? The country is gone, so what is there to call a home? To hell with self-cultivation, I'm not cultivating anymore, let whoever wants to cultivate can cultivate!"
"What joy is there in life, what sorrow in death? Pity us mortals, for we suffer so much!"
"We, the members of the Mohist sect, are stubborn! We take the army as our home, our generals as our parents, we are close without prior agreement, we trust each other without prior planning, we are of one mind and one heart, and we will fight to the death!"
"If I return victorious, I need no honors, just a cup of wine; if I die, wrap my body in a horse's hide and leave that wine on my grave."
"I never intended to come back alive. You will bury me on a high mountain! Even after I die, I want to see this land at peace, and that a hundred years from now, the country will be prosperous and the people at peace!"
