First Player

Chapter 348 Chapter 346·"Su Lin, have a nice trip"

"They are just self-destructive people." The man glanced at him: "There are always people who are accustomed to indulging in short-term and direct pleasure, and hate behaviors that require long-term persistence to gain - Mo Yan, do you think this will happen after the world game is over? What will happen to a group of casual players who only have points but no strength?"

Mo Yan paused in his steps.

"I don't know." He shook his head: "I don't know."

He quickened his pace, lowered his head, and suddenly ran into a patient in a hurry.

The patient raised his head and met his eyes.

The patient's cheeks were thin, his face was pale, his eyes were heavily bloodshot, his lips were cracked due to excessive dryness, and his cheekbones were high, making him look like a yellow cabbage leaf that was about to rot.

Seeing him, the patient's stiff eyes seemed to have some reaction. The two black eyes moved slightly, and then he began to breathe rapidly.

"...save me." she said.

Those eyes without divine light were not focused on his face, but seemed to be looking beyond him, looking at something behind him.

...Perhaps he was looking at the patient with the same dull eyes in the hall, or perhaps he was looking at the crowd that was like boiling porridge.

She seemed to want to grab his sleeve or lean on him, but in the end she stopped and called out.

【help me】.

…

This is an adventure player who is crazy about copies.

Since she had no relatives or friends, after she took the initiative to find this place, she seemed to have fallen into a quagmire that she could not escape from.

She couldn't heal herself, couldn't recover.

She couldn't escape this pale white circle.

Mo Yan stared at the stranger's hopeless eyes, at her subconsciously tightened hands, and at her wandering eyes, as if he was seeing another world beyond him.

Withered and lifeless, as if it had lost its soul.

He seemed to see a pale piece of paper.

"...But some people have already rotted in advance." Mo Yan said, "Before dawn."

"Who?" the man asked.

"You saw it." Mo Yan looked away. As if through the white walls of the hospital, I saw the fountain in the square not far away, and the happy men and women there:

"…and what I saw."

…

"Welcome back."

The dignified and elegant princess was waiting at the door as if she had already known of Su Mingan's arrival.

"It's been a while since I left." Su Mingan said, "The situation in Praia has not changed much."

"Yeah..." the princess thought for a while: "It's probably been several years."

……several years?

Su Ming'an discovered that the princess's information was different from what he knew - it seemed that this was not the first time Su Lin came down from Yunshang City.

"It's late at night, so it's not a good time to reminisce about the past." The princess looked at him: "Su Lin, let's take you back to your room first. Let's talk tomorrow, right?"

"Okay." Su Mingan didn't talk much. He just wanted to clear the night level.

After sending Su Ming'an to the room, the princess left.

Su Mingan searched the room but found no new clues.

Today is the crucial third level of the game. He must obtain the key skills to control the enchantment...

Su Mingan lay on the bed.

Nothing happened.

Suspecting that his posture was incorrect, he stood up and lay down again——

Still nothing happened.

Su Mingan suddenly sat up from the bed.

He looked at the system time - it was now three o'clock in the morning on December 24th.

He speculated that perhaps it was because this time was too late for players to complete the third level, so players were unable to enter the night level. He should wait until tomorrow night, after he comes into contact with the bed again, before opening the third level.

He sat on the bed and took out the second Su Lin's Memory Stone.

Now is the best time to look at this memory.

The red light shattered, and the scene in front of me began to change...

…

What you see is a blue sky and blue sea.

In the busy port, there are many sails and boats, boats and boats are connected to each other, houses are sitting on the edge of the island, and people are crowded like ants on the street.

On the pier, people gathered with large and small bags, old and young, men and women. They were heading towards a buzzing airship.

"Dip-dip-"

In the somewhat misty fog, the water surface of the harbor flashed like neon lights, and white gulls jumped over the top of the airship, leaving small black shadows.

"——Residents please maintain order, do not push or crowd, and ride the airship in an orderly manner——"

Such a sound echoed throughout the pier, and people were like ants boarding the airship along the long board.

Under the airship, passengers carrying luggage hugged their families and said goodbye, while Soul Hunter checked the residents coming and going.

"——Residents please maintain order, strictly abide by the farewell time, cooperate with soul hunting inspections, and log in to the Yunshang City airship in an orderly manner——"

Crew members with loudspeakers shouted loudly to keep everyone in order.

Between the ports, there were men carrying bags, children running, old people on crutches... all kinds of people listened to the crew's arrangements and walked upward along a black line, like a rolling black stream.

In a tavern not far from the port, Su Mingan saw this scene.

He was looking at the scene here through Su Lin's eyes and through the window of the tavern.

"...Su Lin, Su Lin!"

There was a shout from the side, followed by a somewhat bold slap on the shoulder.

"——Engineer Su! Come to your senses!"

Su Lin was slapped violently. He turned his head and looked at the people sitting at the same long table with him.

Sitting on this table were many people who seemed to have extraordinary status. There were uniformed soul hunters wearing golden badges, knights wearing golden armor, noble ladies wearing silk robes... and the bald man in a technician's uniform who just slapped him hard.

Seeing him turn his head, the dark-skinned bald man showed a hearty smile, and his white teeth were almost shining.

"Engineer Su, are you looking at your precious airship?" The big man looked out the window: "Today is the 'boarding day'. This is our hard work..."

"People start boarding the ship at dawn and set off at night. Engineer Su, you can't spend the little time you have with us, favoring one over the other, just staring at your baby." A woman next to her said with a smile. Open your mouth.

Su Lin looked at these people and raised the corners of his mouth.

"It's time to stop looking at it," he said.

The aroma of barbecue floats up, and the air is filled with a strong smell of wine.

Through Su Lin's eyes, Su Ming'an realized that this was the barbecue restaurant that Xie Lude had taken him to.

But after he took a closer look, he found that the store was slightly different. Although the location was the same, the decoration and layout were slightly different. This store looked much newer, as if it had just been opened. The one I went to obviously had a history of several decades.

Judging from what he heard before.

This is... the day when the airship ascended to Yunshang City, that is, more than sixty years ago in Praia.

People around him feasted on the barbecue, but the knife and fork in front of Su Lin remained motionless.

"...Are you really not ready to get on the boat?" he asked.

After listening to his words, the people who were chatting put down their tableware.

"Me? I won't go up there. I have an old man and a young man on the Praia." A man wearing a horn hat took a sip of wine.

"I'll leave the pleasure to you heroes. I just contributed some gold and silver. I didn't participate in the production of the airship. I made no contribution, so I won't take up the quota." The lady smiled.

"Soul Hunter still needs me." Jin Xing uniformed Soul Hunter's words concisely.

Su Lin lowered his head slightly, seeming a little disappointed.

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise, and Su Lin's body tilted suddenly.

On the side, a bald man showed his teeth and laughed like thunder, which could be heard throughout the store.

Fortunately, today is the 'embarkation day'. Everyone has gone to board the ship or say goodbye, but there are not many other guests.

"Su Lin, don't worry about them." The big man grinned: "Don't you have me, your deputy, known as 'General Langli', accompanying you? When you get to the top, you can use me around, but this is something that no one else can envy. Opportunity."

He raised his glass and raised it towards Su Lin: "Come! After drinking this drink with me, we will spend more time together in the future!"

Su Lin listened and laughed: "Gerry, you must be drunk already."

"No, there's no way!" The big man's face turned red, but he still said sternly: "Just, that's the weight..."

"Come on." The dark-skinned woman in a technical uniform next to her said, "If you weren't drunk, did you know that Su Lin can't drink? You see, you were too drunk on the day you boarded the ship. Although there are sobering leaves, it's too much. outrageous……"

"Bang--"

The big man put down his wine glass.

His face was flushed, and there was a bit of pain in his eyes.

"...You don't feel sad when you're drunk." He said, "One by one, you choose a pub when you say goodbye...Isn't it just to get drunk?"

The atmosphere, which was not very lively in the first place, calmed down at his words.

The thick sunshine near dusk shines into the window edge, and the fresh sea breeze slowly flows in.

Su Lin didn't speak, her hand rested on the knife and fork, her expression was very quiet.

The sound of noisy people, the whistle of the ship, and the sound of the clock came from the towering tower in the distance. He suddenly stood up.

"...We'll meet," he said.

People looked at him, raising their heads, as if subconsciously looking at a leader.

Su Lin put his hands on the table and stared at the people looking at him.

"All the data of the 'Yunshang' has been debugged and preliminary tests have been done. It can definitely reach the city in the sky safely. Believe us... I believe that the half of us who go up can get the approval of Yunshang City and stop it. This terrible disaster.

"When then - I will bring everyone's relatives and friends back safely. No matter whose child they are, whose father they are, or whose wife they are.

“The people of Praia worked together to survive this devastating disaster, and our honor will live on forever.

"This is not a farewell of life and death, but a farewell for a long journey.

"Don't be disappointed about the future, don't be depressed about parting, this is not the end, it's just the beginning of goodbye."

He restored the unused knives and forks in his hands and lifted the tool box under the table:

"It's time for me to go in for one last checkup."

He walked out of the seat next to him and waved to people:

"Anna, Walker, Lin Ling, Luo Chen, Yanzi, Huang Xu...

"I remember the wishes of each of you, and I will bring you the gifts you want.

"Please believe that the half of the people who ascended to Yunzhong City - we will definitely meet again." He said.

"..." The lady smiled and raised her wine glass: "Su Lin, have a nice trip."

As soon as she said these words, the silence was immediately broken.

The man in the horn hat raised his glass and laughed:

"Engineer Su, the lives and wealth of Xiaoqing and I depend on you!"

"That's it! What kind of farewell is this? When the storm subsides and you come down, we still have to drink here... Oh, except Su Lin. It's time for you to practice your drinking. You are allergic to alcohol. What's wrong with this?"

"Su Lin! Remember to draw the residents of Yunshang City. I want to see what kind of people live in the sky!"

"Engineer Su, please give more support to this guy Ge Li. He is rough and thick-skinned. Although he can be beaten, he can't be serious. He is just a bit stupid and can't do anything bad..."

"Yanzi, why are you calling me stupid? Are you asking for a beating?"

In the burst of laughter, the original depression was swept away.

Su Lin raised the empty wine glass beside him and smiled.

"For Praia's tomorrow," he said.

"—For Praia's tomorrow!" People laughed loudly.

The wine glasses clinked together, the clear white wine flew up, and people's laughter blended into the noisy sea breeze.

Su Lin symbolically raised the empty wine glass in his hand, and then stepped into the golden color of dusk amidst people's loud farewells.

Turning his back to the partners and colleagues he spent time with day and night, he walked in the direction of the airship and never looked back.

The sound of the waves is like a drum, and the sound of the flute is like thunder.

The setting sun shone on him, and his shoulders were as red as flames.

…

Su Mingan was a little surprised when he saw this scene.

It seems that Su Lin's mental state sixty years ago was not as sick as Su Lin's later.

...Now he is simply a standard hero.
