Chapter 298: Destiny's Chess Board
”Elder sister, can you hear me?”
Hearing the familiar voice, Ran Chen Xin revealed a smile and raised the communication device, ”I can hear you. Xue'er, where are you right now?”
”That's great…..Elder sister, I'm in Beginner Village 99999. Such a beautiful number…..It is really beautiful here, even more so than I imagined. No wonder elder sister loves this place so much.”
After entering the Destiny World, Chen Xue excitedly looked around herself and breathed the fresh air of this world, feeling very relaxed. The mysterious game that she yearned for, it was even more realistic and beautiful than she imagined.
The gaming equipment Su Fei Fei ordered for her had finally arrived, which was a similar beautiful tiny bracelet. Chen Xue put it on her hand and couldn't wait before jumping into the game world.
”You need to reach level ten before leaving the Beginner Village…..Xue'er, work hard.”
”Un! Where's elder brother? How do I contact him?” Chen Xue asked.
”His communication device is limited to a few people and others cannot connect to him. Otherwise, with his fame, he would be annoyed to death everyday…..Wait a minute, I'll let you talk to him.”
Hanging up Chen Xue's call, Chen Xin called Ye Tian Xie, ”Big brother Xie Tian, are you there?”
”Ding……The player you have is in a special sealed map and cannot take calls from the outside world.”
Chen Xin: ”……”
”Xue'er, big brother Xie Tian is busy right now. We can't call him now, so is it alright if we call him later?” Chen Xin immediately called Chen Xue again.
”Un, un……Then I'll go level first elder sister. I'll be able to quickly catch up to you all,”
Hanging up the call, Chen Xin was stunned……because Chen Xue's ingame ID was……”Elder Brother's Treasured Xue'er”.
In just a few days, she was already this dependent on him?
That was strange……
Perhaps it wasn't strange at all because after meeting him, Xue'er had obtained a new life and her face finally had a smile that had not appeared for a long time…..As for him, over the years, he was the only person that cared for her…..Adding in the fact that before they came back, something must have happened.
It could be said that the current Xue'er was living for him……
However, this was not a bad thing. With him protecting and loving her, she no longer had a need to worry about Chen Xue anymore…..Only, deep down, there was an unclear and strange feeling.
In the world of confusing paths, Ye Tian Xie had completely lost his way.
Dead end…..Dead end……Dead end……
Sometimes there were two branches, sometimes there were three branches. With the continuous branching paths, he completely lost all sense of direction. Ye Tian Xie was completely lost in the labyrinth that he didn't know how big it was. Not to mention finding the exit, he couldn't even find the path back.
Ye Tian Xie's footsteps were much faster compared to before. His face was silent, but his brows were tightly knit. Looking in front of him, in his calmness, he had himself remember the path he took……
However, with how big this labyrinth was, how complex it was, even if Ye Tian Xie had a high as the heavens remembering ability…..He could remember the first path, he could remember the second path and the third path…..The fourth path…..When it came to the fifth path, he was lost once again. He could not find the new starting point that he had established and the end of the path he took resulted in another dead end.
The labyrinth did not test for one's martial strength. When the labyrinth was as complicated as this, even having wisdom was not enough. It was a test of patience and it all depended on one's luck. A difficult labyrinth was sometimes even more terrifying than an enemy because it could very easily rout a person's mind.
It was clearly impossible to memorize the path and making marks…..In this game world, it was also impossible because there was no way to create marks on the walls and floors. Even throwing down items was useless……Because thrown away items would automatically disappear after a minute. Not only would it be wasted, it would have no effects at all.
After an hour, Ye Tian Xie was still stuck without a single clue. His arrogance had been completely provoked by the labyrinth……Not only did he not want to give up, his heart had been agitated and his mind was even more awake. The more an environment exercised the will of a person, the more they couldn't lose their cool.
In front of him was another dead end. He glared at the wall like he wished he could destroy it, but he silently turned around……
Wait a minute……
I remember a left fork here……So why was it a right fork now……Had his memory fallen into chaos?
Ye Tian Xie rubbed his forehead……This kind of large labyrinth, was remembering the path useful? In reality, it did not have any effect. Even if he remembered most of it and forgot the rest, then everything would still be thrown into chaos. Luck was the most important thing.
Another hour pa.s.sed…….Ye Tian Xie's eyes became incomparably sharp, as if he wanted to see through the walls in front of him…..Another dead end and he turned around again. He could not determine where his current location was at all….Was he just continuously turning around in a circle?
Three hours, four hours pa.s.sed……
Ye Tian Xie's mind was finally feeling exhausted. He stopped moving and somewhat weakly leaned against the wall. Walking through the labyrinth for several hours, if it was a normal person, they would have gone crazy already.
