Chapter 394: Hero Seats (2/2)
There was many words in his sentences that were outside of Tian Si's scope of awareness, but this did not prevent her from being able to deduce the general meaning. And it was because she didn't understand that she couldn't help imagine the mysteries within. She was lost in thought for a time.
But soon she snapped back in reality. She found it a bit strange, ”Then why didn't you tell them?”
”Pleasant surprises are hard to come by. Would they find delight in the truth? Especially that fellow Nanster. If he were to continue to develop like this, not only would he be precocious, he would one-hundred percent become a machine of theory. Don't you think so?”
This time, Tian Si could only smile.
Papercut invited her once more, ”I just looked it up. The strategy room is over there. Do you want to go?”
”I...” Tian Si just started her sentence, but she found it a bit hard to continue. This was because the stuff she wanted to say had nothing to do with the so-called strategy room.
Papercut turned to look at her. Though there was a semi-closed helmet in the way, Tian Si inexplicably felt pressure in her heart.
At the same time, the light and shadow projected on the wall revealed the inconceivable martial might of fantasy. The gorgeous effects and the fierce clashes drew players to stop and watch and caused the players to cheer as well.
The scene drove her imagination, and it gave her impetus, ”Brother Papercut, am I able to...”
Papercut probably didn't hear her because he was wearing a helmet. He turned around and waved his hand, leading her toward the strategy room.
Tian Si wanted to speak louder, but the thing known as courage came in spurts. She had run out of it, and ultimately the words never left her mouth. She glanced back at the projection screen, a little dispirited. In the end, she put on her helmet and followed Papercut.
She didn't know that Papercut was muttering to himself ahead. He sighed, ”When seeing the sky outside the well, no one would want to return back to the mud...but you don't have the talent to jump out of the well. Thinking more about this matter would just harm yourself.”
As for Tian Si's age and foundation, walking the path of physical enhancement and wishing to achieve results was almost impossible, even with a famous teaching guiding her.
As for mental enhancement...just one glance and Papercut could tell she didn't have the talent. Obviously, there was no point mentioning it.
Talent. Talent.
With these thoughts in mind, Papercut felt quite listless. So in this world, no one was able to find a cultivation method that was upright and frank; a method that started from scratch to become something; something that started from small to large, that was akin to a gradual accumulation of steps to reach a thousand miles?
What in the world was the foundation that they, as ability users, relied on? Who was able to give them a clear-cut answer?
An image of Luo Nan suddenly flashed in his mind. Perhaps only someone like him could do it. Only someone with super strong talent and was a freak that focused fully on studying theory could hope to break through this fog and point to the truth.
However, this sort of existence was absolutely not lovable. In comparison, even the vain and stupid Yue Zheng was more like a living person.
This was bad. Very bad!
Though Papercut probably wasn't qualified enough to make judgments on this matter, Papercut really didn't like this change in Luo Nan from the bottom of his heart.
”Curse my girly temperament!” Papercut walked a few steps with self-deprecating before using the HexaEar to make contact with someone.
At first he wanted to call He Yueyin; she was the Secretary, after all. However, his thoughts took another turn. Secretary He didn't really give off a strong sense of being human as well. Plus, Luo Nan, who could easily cause people to get lost five kilometers deep inside fog, might be on a higher level than his own secretary.
Papercut switched to a different contact when his thoughts reached this point, but the result was outside his expectations. He was left hearing, ”Please leave a message.”
”Back behind closed-doors.” Papercut shook his head. He sincerely converted his thoughts to words and transmitted them over, ”President. I want to ask something of you. It has to do with the kid Luo Nan's temperament....”
After entering the hero seats region, Luo Nan soon discovered that the placement area of the simulators formed a labyrinth. He soon parted ways with Xue Lei under the guidance of the AR guide.
But soon a dialogue window lit up to the side of the translucent faceplate, and Xue Lei's avatar appeared in a call. This was a team privilege gained after getting the luxury package. People without the luxury rooms could only send messages the old way.
”Nanster, let's not enter the battlefield just yet. Let's first make a room to play.”
”Sure.” Luo Nan was a typical rookie. He really was diffident when it came to immediately entering the exciting yet chaotic reality battlefield. Xue Lei's plan was in line with his intentions.
Right after they finished talking, Xue Lei and Luo Nan's luck began to rapidly grow. Avatar after avatar spawned on their screens. Some were instant messages. Some were notifications.
Mo Peng: This is dogshit. I tried snatching one a hundred of times starting from last month, and I was...
Luo Biyao: Let's go play rainbow bow in a bit. We might be able to earn back all the expenses tonight.
Mo Han: Don't you think that it's a waste?
Tian Si: Oh, I just saw this feature. Do your best.
This was an experience comparable to winning the lottery. News of it spread quite quickly within their small circle. Ruan Zihui, Tong Hui, Qiu Peipei, and others sent messages of congratulations a moment later.Even Yue Qin and Turner, who were in rather awkward positions, sent them a few words to express congratulations.
Of course, they never counted on anything from Yue Zheng.
Luo Nan was a bit disappointed when he arrived at hero seat ninety-one, the one that he snatched. Though Xue Lei and the others had hyped this thing up to the heavens, there wasn't that much of a difference between this and the fully-enclosed maglev cabin of the VIP room, at least from looking at its surface.
Fine. Perhaps taking the VIP room's experience out to the public area might be considered a good move.
Luo Nan started under the assistance of the guide to engage in the data link. It was a walk in the park, and he received Xue Lei's invitation thirty seconds later. The scene before his eyes immediately departed from Frost River Reality to a square platform akin to a dueling arena.
”We're not doing the Wilderness?” Luo Nan was quite baffled. It was too lazy of them to make this sort of battlefield.
”Who says it isn't? There are several fighting arena settings in the Wilderness. This place is part of the Flaming Hills, the Ring of Life and Death. It's quite famous, okay?”
Xue Lei appeared within the ring. There were four types of classes to choose from: Standby, Deep Blue, Mutant, and Fantasy. He chose what fit most with reality, a human hero of the Standby Class. Under reality effects, he was bound in exoskeleton armor, but he was taking it off piece by piece.
Luo Nan had a very ominous feeling when he saw this. He shivered in his moment of stupefaction and blurted out, ”Let's switch stages...”
”Why go through that much trouble? Just come at me bro! Let's both choose Standby Human Heroes and fight melee combat without armor. We can practice sanshou boxing this way.” Xue Lei squeezed his hands into fists, filled with impatience as he chuckled, ”It's been happily decided!”
